How are you staying healthy?”

This question is one that I ask patients, and they often can’t think of an answer.

It’s probably one of the most important questions you can ask your family, friends, and co-workers. It’s definitely the most important question you can ask yourself.

Often, patients have chronic illnesses like Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, or chrinic pain. They tell me they wished they knew what I was teachii I ng them years ago. They wish they could have taken better care of their bodies and minds and possibly prevented suffering.

If we don’t actively take a part in our health and wellbeing, we are losing an opportunity to make our live better. To prevent disease. To improve our mental health. To be happy.

It’s never too late. Start now. Take an active role in your health.

Nutrition, Exercise, Sleep, Stress. Start here. Learn. Practice. Be the example for others.

The birthdays will keep coming, but health problems don’t have to come with them. Your future self will never regret asking this question, and acting upon it.

Folks, it’s here! My first book, Stress Tools, is available for purchase in ebook, paperback and hardcover form!

$2.99 ebook on amazon!

It’s been a labor of love to write this book for all of us who could use some help finding resilience in this crazy modern life.

It’s an easy read (on purpose), but asks thought provoking questions and gives practical steps to manage your stress-most of the exercises take a few minutes or are fun enough you will want to add them to your day.

I have no doubt you will learn or be reminded of at least one technique that betters your life.

Thank you to everyone who was so supportive and kind during the writing process. Thanks to those who inspired me too!

Please buy and write a review, or share with those who need a little help. It’s makes a great gift too! Available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Books and Walmart.com.

As you age, you lose flexibility. Yoga is a great exercise to increase flexibility and strength, as well as an excellent mind body modality.

The deepest view ever obtained in the universe. Filled with galaxies. The several spiked objects are local stars in our own Milky Way. Ignore them. Everything else is an entire galaxy unto itself. Notice that many distort into arcs. These are distant galaxies that reveal the curvature of spacetime caused by the gravity of a cluster of galaxies in image's center.
